Herbaceous Border at Newby Hall & Gardens0845 4504068workGardenThe beautiful double herbaceous border, a length of 140m, is one of the longest in Europe. Structurally laid out by Major Compton in the 1930s, it was during the time of Mr Robin Compton that the borders took on their unique planting feel. With its north-south axis, the border holds the fine Wren house at the top, and slopes down to the River Ure below.

A haven for birds, bees, butterflies and hoverflies, this is a border worthy of more than one visit during our Open Season. However it is ever changing: watch this space…..

To add to the visual impact throughout the year there have been significant changes and improvements. A blaze of colour from June to September, combining many varied and interesting Herbaceous Perennials, some of which are familiar, others unusual, all work together to create a cohesive spectacle.Newby Hall & GardensRiponNorth YorkshireHG4 5AEUnited Kingdom54.101323420240-1.469302875080http://www.newbyhall.com
